‘What makes you go, “I’m with the boomers on this one”?’ – 38 popular responses

If you were born between 1946 and 1964, you’re technically a Baby boomer – because of the post-war baby boom.

Baby boomers – or just boomers, if you want to keep it casual – have a bit of a reputation for complaining about modern life. We know it’s just a stereotype, before you contact us to complain.

Over on Twitter, Eladio Bobadilla had a question on the subject of boomers.

Appliances, but products in general, are not built to last anymore. Planned obsolescence is the worst thing that has ever been introduced.

Everything from KitchenAid mixers to clothes to actual building materials on newer houses are inferior now. https://t.co/GfXeIgBN7C

In terms of appreciating nature, I stand with the Boomers.

It’s good to disconnect from technology occasionally and enjoy the simple beauty around us.
